Air — '-^Eail to the Chiefs 

Hail to tlie Star tliat is gleaming so brightly, 
Borne on our breasts as our ensign of pride, 
Fairer to ns than the thousands, that nightly 
Through the high heavens in majesty ride. 
May it be ever bright, 
May its effulgent light 
Ever gleam on us and gladden our way. 
Star of our hope and love. 
Long mayst thou shine above ! 
Hail to thee, fair one, bright star of our day ! 

Hail to the Crescent whose silvery glory 

Nightly grows broad on the zenith of fame ; 
Long be it honored in song and in story. 
Aye be its followers proud of their name ! 
Manly the breasts that bear 
Our crescent beaming fair ; 
"Warm are the hearts that are throbbing beneath. 
Ever our joyful song 
Kingeth forth clear and strong, 
Hail to thee. Crescent ! shine on us till death ! 

Crescent and Star ! ye are emblems of brothers, 
Whose lives like the star, are resplendent and 
bright ; 
Of a fraternity which among others. 

Shines like the moon 'mid the jewels of night. 
Loved Alpha Delta Phi ! 
Long may thy holy tie. 
Scholars and men in close sympathy bind. 
Bound in alliance strong, 
Ever we'll raise the song, 
Hail to thee ! union of heart and of mind !

Let us swell the glad song, till its eclioes around us 

Fill tlie heart with its notes, and with gladness surround 
us ; 

Till these walls 'mid which pleasure so long has abound- 
ed, 

Shall ring with the shout and the chorus resounded. 
Hurrah ! hurrah ! Alpha Delta, forever ! 
Hurrah ! hurrah ! Alpha Delta, forever ! 

Our song is of triumph, victorious forever, 
With no rival to fear, defeat we know never ; 
Our aim always upward, our progress advancing, 
Successes most perfect our glories enhancing. 
Hurrah ! hurrah ! etc. 

As the past has been golden, immortal in story, 
So the path of the future beams brilliant with glory ; 
ISTew honors are waiting, new beauties are o'er us, 
And the noon of our brightness yet ojDcns before us. 
Hurrah ! hurrah ! etc. 

Thus, bold and unconquered, shall triumphs elate us, 
And the bright course of glory undimmed shall await 

us ; 
And brave Alpha Delta, bewitching as ever, 
Shall reign 'mid her kindred a princess forever. 

Hurrah ! hurrah ! etc. 

Alpha Delta ! Alpha Delta ! heaven's blessing attend 

her, 
While we live, we will cherish, protect, and defend her ; 
Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her, 
And Queen of our thoughts we will ever proclaim her. 

Hurrah ! hurrah ! etc.

Hail ! all hail ! thou glorious dawn ! 
Welcome thrice auspicious morn ; 
Ignorance dies, and truth is born

The shrine of Alpha Delta Phi. 

Chorus— Of Delta Phi, of Delta Phi ! 

We love the shrine of Delta Phi !

Here Genius learns to toil, and sing 
The songs of cheerful industry. 

Chorus— Of Delta Phi, of Delta Phi,

Here friendship, ^\dt, and genial mirth 
Banish with sunshine hours of gloom ; 

And when life meets its last of earth. 
Fond Memory decorates the tomb.

On Alpha Delta Phi. 
The lingering forms of pleasures fled,

But pure and noble joys are ours, 

In Alpha Delta Phi. 

There is a chain which draws, 

Our hearts in friendship nigh ; 
It is the secret, golden bond 

Of Alpha Delta Phi. 
Here Art and Grenius both unite, 

To lift our aims and motives high ; 
A light to cheer the scholar's heart 

Is Alpha Delta Phi. 

The laurel wreath of fame 

Upon her brow shall lie ; 
"While victory shall crown the name 

Of Alpha Delta Phi. 
In after-years though we may part. 

We'll ne'er forget the sacred tie 
That binds us closely heart to heart —

Air — " My lodging is on the cold ground.''^ 

"When tlie earnest heart turnetli in sorrow away 

From the friends that allure to deceive, 
And findeth no heart-love its own to repay, 

Alpha Delta its want will relieve. 
For the trustful and strong here may fellowship find, 

Where refinement with manliness blends ; 
While around her dear altar our pledges we bind, 

That true hearts shall ne'er fail of true friends. 

Here, too, may the scholar his young ardor bring. 

Whether genius or talent his share, 
And in Science rise proudly on resolute wing, 

Or in Eomance weave tapestries rare. 
Whatever their gifts, whatever their skill, 

All they to whom honor is dear, 
Alpha Delta will welcome, with hearty good will, 

To a brotherhood kind and sincere. 

So with love and with songs Alpha Delta we crown, 

Alpha Delta, the genial and pure, 
And the years as they roll shall add strength and re- 
nown. 

While Learning and Friendship endure. 
Then brothers huzza ! for the Crescent and Star, 

May their mild lustre never grow dim, 
Till all noble spirits, both near and afar. 

Shall join in the glorious hymn.

SiKG on ! sing on ! we love tlie cliorns 
That's joined bj hearts so strong and true; 
The future, boys, is all before us, 
Its paths in glory we'll pursue. 
Above our beating hearts is gleaming 
The star whose pure beam lights our way, 
And still, o'er all our long path streaming, 
We see the Crescent's fadeless ray. 

Sing on ! sing on ! we well may glory 
In Alpha Delta's old renown, 
While countless tongues repeat her story. 
And countless hearts revere her crown. 
She lives ! our hearts are hers forever ! _ 
She fades not with the fading years ! 
Her children will desert her never, 
Alike her own in smiles and tears. 

Sing on ! sing on ! it still is morning 
In Alpha Delta's summer day, 
All clouds of opposition scorning 
She brightens on her rising way. 
And still while on in life we're moving, 
And day by day we leave this hour, 
May Memory's record e'er be proving 
Old Alpha Delta's fadeless power.

And sees but the casket inclosing the gem ; 
All honor the goddess whose tie so unites us, 
And envy the pleasures forbidden to them.

And on our hearts' altar thine image enshrine ; 
Sweet memories of thee will by age gather power

And when at last our hearts grow chill 

And turn to silent dust, 
We shall not die, for brave hearts still 

Shall keep the ancient trust ; 
The vine shall wear its blooms of Spring, 

The star its radiance cast, 
And still to Memory's cup shall cling 

The bees-wing of the past.

There is no wine like the juice of the vine

Look now upon yon crescent moon, 

So silvery and so fair ; 
Say, think ye that the "Lord of Noon" 

Hath beauties half as rare ? 
Some spots there are upon her face, 

But know ye what they mean ? 
'Tis Alpha Delta Phi you trace 

Amidst the glorious sheen. 

Oh ! may our Star forever shine I 

Our Crescent never wane ! 
And may they ever light the shrine 

Of our loved goddess queen ! 
May cords of love and truth unite 

To form our " mystic tie !" 
And may they bind us to the right 

And Alpha Delta Phi !
